Ha, this is sort of a funny thread I guess, but does anyone else wear size 13 shoes and find it a little difficult to drive your E90? I just bought a new pair of skechers, size 13 (my old skechers are size 13 too, but I never had any problems)

Anyway, sorry if this is a repost--I've seen the post about the clutch not being made for small feet--but does anyone else find their shoe getting jammed between the right "wall" of the car near the accelerator and the brake pedal??? No, I'm not kidding--this is a serious question. It actually feels a little unsafe driving now with my new shoes. I even may have the brake in a little sometimes as I press the accelerator. My shoe doesn't seem to fit in the space given for the accelerator.

When I take my foot off the accelerator quickly to brake, my shoe gets stuck and sometimes it takes longer than I'd like to press the brake.

you should get better shoes, that's crazy

I've never had an issue with my 12.5's

Maybe you can have a spare pair of shoes to drive in, or just drive shoeless?

I'm used to driving on flats/flip flops.. so whenever I have to wear heals or boots, I drive shoeless. Since winter is coming, I have an extra pair of dry flip flops in my car-- so like.. when its raining and wet outside.. i take off the wet shoes and put it into a plastic bag in my trunk and wear the clean flip flops while im driving so I dont get my car dirty.

That's kinda irrelevatn and doesn't answer your question.. butt.. you can really try the whole 2-pair of shoes thing to make your driving more comfortable.

Answer: Puma Speedcats. Best drivng shoes money can buy. There's even a BMW/Williams F1 edt. shoe. There's another Puma/BMW shoe out there, if you look in the new M5 brochure, there's a pic. Lucky you dont' wear a size 15/16.

Yep, it's true. I need not even say.

Ideally I'd be weating a 15.5, but most shoe manf. don't make their shoes in half sizes. So at times I will have to go to a size 16, again, depending upon shoe. I currently own several pairs of Puma's and they're all size 15's. Puma is the shoe to have.

Dude, just wear flip flops. It's the way to go. I hardly ever wear shoes-- I even wear flip flops in the winter. They make my feet feel freeee and i can feel the pedal when I'm driving, etc.

Wearing shoes make my feet hot. Wearing socks makes my feet feel like it's in jail. I'm kind of weird though.

Sandals are for girls IMO. I wear Pumas

Only when I wear my 12" T-Mac 4s, it does rub a little but not too the point that its dangerous. Does adjusting the seat help at all?

I don't think adjusting the seat would make his feet any less big.

you may have to go back to the T-mac 3's

they won't cause problems with shifting

[E90Fleet]

I wear size 13

I got one pair of shoes where the soles dont work with cars, they are too wide, but all my others work fine

Except for something like a lamborghini. I got a chance to drive one once, and had to wear very thin racing boots, else my feet touched 2 pedals at a time. Barefoot woul probably have been best

I had a similar problem when I was given an E90 manual as a loaner. On 2 occasions when clutching with my Colorado 13's I caught the brake pedal as well. It was not a pleasant feeling. Needless to say, I learnt PDQ to have my foot a little more to the left when clutching...
